Yeah I didn't really like it that much either. And Aim & Ignite was really good.

I was momentarily excited when I read Fun. but was thinking of Fang Island.

yeah it did feel like a phone commercial at the beginning. i did like how it appears it's gonna be some cutesy love story but instead it's just a riot. but also pretty simple and not worth the time they put into it. another reminder of why i prefer to just stay away from music videos.

I absolutely hated that.

And I have Aim & Ignite at a 5.

Aim & Ignite is barely a 3

The quality of comments in this article is a 0.5

"Ugh" ...I'm guessing the amount of effort you put into that comment and the amount of effort you put into life are one and the same, what a waste of valuable seconds of your life and ours.

"Aim & Ignite is barely a 3" It sure bugs me when people state their opinion like it's a fact written in stone. Please feel free to debate but don't just state your opinion like some snobbish jackass.

As for the song, it wasn't as immediately good as the tracks from Aim & Ignite but it grew on me, take into account that Aim & Ignite has had a long time to digest, I'm sure everyone complaining now will be talking about how the next album's single doesn't sound as good as anything off Some Nights. Nate, Andrew and Jack are extremely creative and talented and neither the Format, Steel Train or fun. has let me down yet and I don't think there ever going to release something that isn't at the very least listenable. I'm just confused about why they felt the need to release two videos for this song, one unofficial and one official? Just pointless.

@ El_Goodo the irony in you calling me a snobbish dick is all too apparent

I'm just annoyed every time I hear obvious instances of autotune/note correction. The man can sing, let him sing.

This song grew on my massively since it was first released and so did 'One Foot'. It takes time, it's
clear that such a huge shift in direction is going to split the fan-base.

Cool video though, hated the emphasis on the phone at the start but loved the fact that the touring
band were in the video. =)

I just knew there would be slow motion. Still can't decide what I think of the new material. Aim and Ignite is a 5 for me.

Give it some time. It grows on you. At least it did for me.
I hated both of the new songs when I first heard them. Took really long to grow on me too but One Foot's combination of catchiness and quality lyrics one me over. =)

" "Ugh" ...I'm guessing the amount of effort you put into that comment and the amount of effort you put into life are one and the same, what a waste of valuable seconds of your life and ours. "

the irony of this being about 1/5th of your senseless rant is almost too much for me to bear

but anyway, I thought I was in love with Aim and Ignite for about two seconds when I first heard it, but now I can't stand the album except for the first track and I only jam that once in a while.

Song was decent, till Glee had to march in and ruin everything. now, everyone and their 8th grade sister think that Glee made the song.

You hate the song because Glee did a cover of it? That's mature.

i think people know that glee just does covers. but it is a shame that some people love that version without making the effort to check out the original artist. but i do really hate when people say glee did a better job.

Well... they kind of did. Lea Michelle did at least IMO.

I always find Glee is so over-dramatic when they sing, the entire cast. =/
Hence why they never really sound characteristic. Sort of like lifeless drones to me. Just my opinion any way.

There feels like there's something missing from the song that stalls it just before the 'not too bad' stage. The chorus just doesn't lift enough... oh hell, dunno what i'm on about. I thought it was ok basically but nothing to get hard about.
